Role in the Office

The primary role of the Office Pet is to promote healthy competition between colleagues. It is in this context that all the benefits listed above will come into play.   All employees must fight for the Office Pet's approval. This is done through the use of treats, toys, and pets. The reward is to be selected among all others for Cuddles.   Anyone refusing to play this game had to pay monthly penalties that will be put to use buying basic food and hygiene products for the Office Pet. Everyone else is duty bound to incite the Office Pet to bother those individuals by having it mess up their work space.
 
 

How to Acquire One

Just like any employees, the Office Pet has to prove its Worthiness and rights to be ni the office and be spoilt by all employees.   Signs of worthiness: powerful magic. Demonstrated by:
  1. The ability to survive on its own without human intervention.
  2. An ability to penetrate through all the wards protecting the office on its own.
  3. Cuteness
 
Example: Royal Mathematicians' Office Pet

Cat.png

Name: The Void.
Species: Cat.
Age: 7.
Appearance: Small and black.
Origin: Born from a kitchen cat from the nearby Royal Palace. While its prettier siblings were all adopted by nobles, his little runt managed to make its way through the impressive number of wards standing between the palace and the Royal Mathematicians' Headquarters. A clear sign of its impressive power. Once there, he managed to steal employee's food and survive uncaught for an entire month before deciding to cuddle with a mathematician. By this point, he had clearly earned the right to stay.
